Brian the dog to return from the dead on ‘Family Guy’

“Family Guy” fans who mourned the loss of one of the show’s most beloved personas should prepare for an emotional roller coaster ride; Brian the dog is reportedly coming back from the dead.

The witty and sophisticated pup dramatically died in a Nov. 24 episode, triggering expansive outcry. More than 128,000 people signed a Change.org petition asking Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane and the Fox Broadcasting Company to bring the Griffin pet back.

But it seems likely the “Family Guy” writers sent Brian to the grave with every intention of resurrecting him.
